I have worked at the Hanford site and what was in teh collapsed train tunnel is not low level waste. It is highly radioactive waste in the form of contaminated tools, machinery, and other material. PUREX was a plutonium separation facility that took irradiated fuel rods and separated the plutonium form uranium. There are other very high radioactive elements like cesium and strontium that are part of a fuel rod. These train cars are covered in multiple types of radioactive contamination. However there is no threat outside of the tunnel because the contamination wouldn’t spread unless disturbed and since there is no wind inside the tunnel it didn’t blow out of the hole. If you went into the tunnel for more than an hour you might get a lethal doe of radiation from Gamma rays. Dirt is a great shield of gamma and so is distance, so the only threat would have been if you fell in the hole.
Thanks for that update. It’s hard to get accurate information
Regarding earthquakes, Western Washington has also had what they are calling a “swarm” of small earthquakes.
With regards to the leftist trends on American college campuses, I agree with Mrs. Latimer’s views and go a couple steps farther. When people ask about getting value for their tuition dollars when educating their children I point out that 4-year colleges are ridiculously overpriced. It takes a new graduate decades of debt-enslavement to be free again. I always recommend at least starting with a couple years in a local community college. My own AAS in Radiologic Technology had me out and working in two years and I still earn much more than most bachelor’s degree graduates even after 20 years. Plus, after a $3k federal grant for tuition and another $3k federal loan I was debt-free from my education in two years.
It’s apparent to me that universities are in the business of making money, not educated citizens, and the emphasis on collegiate athletics is all the proof I need.
Keep up the great work everyone, you have created a valuable resource for us all. Thank you!
